The Christmas Party Up to Date: Fairy Tales by Broadcast b
Christmas parties this year will possess a new and fascinating attraction, both for young and old, in the shape of the latest wonder of wireless telephony. In many homes this season a novel entertainment is being provided by means of radio-telephony apparatus fitted with a Loud Speaker. The voice of the unseen reciter transmitted from a central broadcast station, perhaps a hundred miles away, is carried through space until electric waves strike the wires of the indoor frame aerial, and, after passing through the receiving set, are converted into audible speech emitted from the loud-speaking trumpet

EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into a magical world of storytelling as we journey back in time to the Christmas season of 1922. In this photograph, "The Christmas Party Up to Date: Fairy Tales" by Broadcast b, we witness the excitement of a new and fascinating attraction that brought joy to both young and old. The photo showcases a Christmas party scene with a novel form of entertainment that was making its way into homes across the country. The wonder of wireless telephony, a precursor to modern radio, was the latest import providing entertainment for the holiday season. Fitted with a loudspeaker, the radio-telephony apparatus allowed the voice of the unseen reciter to travel through space from a central broadcast station, often hundreds of miles away. The electric waves carried the voice across the airwaves, passing through the receiving set, and were then converted into audible speech that was emitted from the loudspeaking trumpet. This historical photograph captures the essence of a moment in time when technology and imagination came together to create a new and enchanting experience. The fairy tales told over the airwaves transported listeners to far-off lands and magical realms, providing a much-needed escape from the daily grind. The image of the indoor frame aerial, with its delicate wires, adds to the sense of wonder and magic, as if the partygoers were tuning in to a world of enchantment. This photograph is a reminder of the power of storytelling and the impact it can have on our lives, even during the most ordinary of moments, like a Christmas party. It is a snapshot of a time when technology was still new and magical, and the world seemed full of possibilities.
